Abstract

A method for detecting, diagnosing or screening for concussion in a subject includes a) tracking eye movement of at least one eye of the subject, b) analyzing eye movement of at least one eye of the subject, c) calculating a statistical test for eye movement of at least one eye of the subject as compared to a normal or mean eye movement, and d) detecting, diagnosing or screening for an impairment based on the calculated statistical test.

         66 . A method for detecting, diagnosing or screening for concussion in a subject comprising:
 a) tracking eye movement of at least one eye of the subject;   b) analyzing eye movement of at least one eye of the subject;   c) calculating a statistical test for eye movement of at least one eye of the subject as compared to a normal or mean eye movement; and   d) detecting, diagnosing or screening for an impairment based on the calculated statistical test.   
     
     
         67 . A method according to  claim 66  wherein eye movement of both eyes of the subject are tracked and analyzed. 
     
     
         68 . A method according to  claim 66  wherein both x and y coordinates of eye position for one or both eyes of a subject are collected. 
     
     
         69 . A method according to  claim 66  wherein the eye movement is tracked for at least about 100 or more seconds. 
     
     
         70 . A method according to  claim 66 , further comprising comparing eye movement of at least one eye of the subject to the eye movement of the other eye of the subject or comparing eye movement of at least one eye of the subject to the eye movement of an eye of one or more other subjects or controls. 
     
     
         71 . A method according to  claim 66 , further comprising comparing eye movement of both eyes of the subject to the eye movement of one or both eyes of one or more other subjects or controls. 
     
     
         72 . A method according to  claim 66  wherein the tracking, analyzing and comparing comprises collecting raw x and y cartesian coordinates of pupil position, normalizing the raw x and y cartesian coordinates, and sorting the data by eye. 
     
     
         73 . A method according to  claim 66  wherein the analyzing and comparing comprises calculating one or more individual metric selected from the group consisting of
